IT Manager/Supply Chain Manager, Southern California, June 16, 2009

“Gary probably doesn’t realize this, but working with him at my alma mater’s IT department repairing PCs and Macs was a pivotal point for me career-wise. I not only learned a great deal from him on the technical side, but I always respected the thoughtful way that he’d approach problems and help build consensus amongst the team in getting the dirty work done. He is a star pick for any organization that needs someone who could lead and motivate others.”

IT Support/Network Admin, Southern California, June 15, 2009

“Gary is the first person who took the time to show me how to successfully manage projects and people. I’m now the President of a software company and looking back, its easy to see that Gary’s patience, influence, and his ability to instill confidence in people set me on the path that got me to where I am. One moment in particular stands out to me. I had a technical question about how to setup a network computer. Gary was my supervisor so I went to him to ask him for help. The conversation went something like this. “Hey Gary, how do I make this widget work on the network.” “Les, I have no idea. But I’m going to teach you how to find out.” By the time Gary and I were done, we’d figured out how to accomplish the technical issue and we’d discovered a way we could improve a number of related issues that would save the department time, money, and effort. It was a light-bulb moment and one of the earliest examples of leadership that I still look back on and reference with my own team. It doesn’t really matter what you hire Gary to do. You can expect the same results. He’s going to figure out how to make things better and he’s going to figure out how to improve the people around him and he’s going to do it in a transparent, ethical, and human-friendly way.”
